• Evaluation results will be available 2 – 4 weeks after the receipt of official transcripts. The total number of credits transferred in and the institution from which the credits were transferred will be posted to your LWTech transcript.

Unofficial Transcript Evaluation

• Advisors cannot guarantee that a course from another institution will count towards the pre-requisite for a competitive admission program.
• ALL students must submit an official transcript to the college for evaluation to receive official confirmation that the course they are transferring in meets the requirements.

Additional Questions?

• Nursing applicants with further questions can contact: Nursing@LWTech.edu

Types of Transfer Credit 

Washington Community & Technical College Courses and Transcripts

• All of the pre-requisite courses for Nursing admissions are common core academic courses across the community and technical college system. If you took a class with the exact same coding and title, such as PSYC&200 Lifespan Psychology, at another community or technical college, the course is equivalent and will transfer in. Please note that you must have a 2.0 or higher in a course to transfer it.

Washington State Colleges & Universities

• If you have a course that does not have the exact coding and title as the requirement at a university in Washington State, you can email nursing@lwtech.edu to ask about course equivalency.

Out of State Colleges & Universities

• If you took courses at an out of state college or university, you must apply for general admission and submit an official transcript for evaluation. This process can take 2-3 weeks from the time we receive the transcript.

International Transcripts

• Students who wish to transfer courses from institutions outside of the United States will need to have a course-by-course evaluation of their transcripts performed by an international credential evaluation agency.
• International credential evaluation agencies can be found on the Transfer webpage.
• We cannot accept international transcripts directly for placement or transfer. These transcripts must have a course-by-course evaluation completed by an international credential evaluation agency.

Semester Credits

• If you are transferring credits in from a semester school, you can multiply the amount of credits by 1.5 to find the quarter credit amount (It is common for you to have a 3 cr semester credit class that will translate into 4.5 quarter credits. This is OK for the admission process).

Courses Without Decimal or Letter Grades

For selective admission healthcare programs, LWTech does not accept transfer credits from colleges that do not provide a decimal or letter grade for completed classes. Classes from any college that are graded only as a “pass” or “satisfactory” or credits earned via CLEP, AP, IB, or other testing process will be converted to a 2.0 in the admission process which may make you ineligible for admission.

Unofficial Transcript Evaluation

Advisors cannot guarantee that a course from another institution will count towards the pre-requisites for a competitive admission program.

ALL students must submit an official transcript to the college for evaluation to receive official confirmation that the course they are transferring in meets the requirements.

Sending Official Transcripts

To learn more about transferring courses to LWTech, visit the Transferring to LWTech webpage.

Additional questions?

Nursing applicants with further questions can contact: nursing@lwtech.edu

Science Time Limits

• Starting Winter 2022, sciences will have a time limit of 7 years from the admission deadline.

Non-Science Time Limits

• Non-Science classes do not have a time limit.

The average cumulative GPA for the 5 GPA bearing courses is a 3.9

Students who earn grades lower than this may want to consider retaking courses for a higher grade to be more competitive applicants.

Course Retake Policy

LWTech's nursing program does not have a policy about course retakes, you can simply report the course with the highest grade if you retake a course.

Financial Aid and Retaking Classes

Please note that course retakes in cases where you have passed the course (2.0 or higher) and wish to retake it for a better grade are not typically covered by financial aid. Please contact Financial Aid for to inquire about their retake policy.

Other Colleges Retake Policies

Not all other schools allow students to retake classes or accept classes that have been retaken for Nursing admission. It is important you do your own research to be aware of how retaking courses will impact you if you are applying to other programs. LWTech Advisors cannot advise on other colleges policies.

All official transcripts must be received by the published deadline for consideration.

If your transcript is not received by the published deadline, it will not be considered for admission and you are encouraged to apply again in a future admission cycle.

You will undergo a background check for the program. This is your access to clinical facilities. If you don't pass the background, you will not be able to complete the program of study.

Washington State Department of Health does background check prior to issuing license. Their website gives a list of felonies and misdemeanors that are not acceptable for licensure. It is the student's responsibility to follow up with the Department of Health.

Upon admission to the Nursing AAS-T, all students are required to submit a Clinical Passport. Background check, Immunizations, and AHA BLS Provider CPR card are due week 1 of the quarter. All immunizations are required.

• Medical exemption from a provider is needed for any declination. Clinical agencies may deny placement if you are unable to meet the immunization standards.
• Immunizations and bloodwork for titers take time and may be expensive. We highly recommend obtaining immunizations and CPR now and do not delay.
• Required immunizations for clinical eligibility/clearance may include:
  • COVID-19 vaccination
  • Hepatitis B Series Vaccine X 3 and a positive titer 
  • Seasonal influenza vaccine
  • TDAP (Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis) vaccine  
  • TB Test (Tuberculosis) 2 step PPD Skin Test or 2 consecutive yearly PPDs. QuantiFERON is also an acceptable lab result.
  • Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine X2 or titer showing immunity 
  • Varicella (Chickenpox) vaccine X 2 or titer showing immunity
  • National Criminal Background check 
  • CPR: American Heart Association BLS 

Before Pursuing Nursing

Before pursuing Nursing  students are strongly encouraged to reflect on the following question:

Why am I choosing Nursing?

• Many students are interested in the healthcare field and are unaware of the vast opportunities in the field beyond Nursing. There are other healthcare careers available, many of which are less competitive that also offer stable careers and salary. Check out LWTech’s other healthcare programs., which include:
  • Behavioral Healthcare
  • Fitness
  • Funeral Service Education
  • Medical Assisting
  • Occupational Therapist Assistant
  • Physical Therapist Assistant
  • Public Health

Academic Planning for Nursing Pre-Requisites

The Nursing AAS-T program at LWTech, like programs across the country, is very competitive. Grades are weighted heavily in our admission process.

Careful pre-requisite planning is strongly encouraged.

Ask yourself the following questions as you plan to take the pre-requisite courses:

What are your life obligations?

• Do you work? Have children? Have other obligations in addition to going to school? It is important to consider the pace and order in which you take classes. It is also important to look into support services you may qualify for.

How much time do you have to dedicate to each class you’re taking?

• Consider taking 1-2 classes per quarter. Going slower may allow you to dedicate more time to your class(es) and higher grades.

Can you get a 3.8 or higher (the average grade for the required courses) if you take these classes together?

• Pair classes thoughtfully. Know which courses are going to take you more effort and pair them with class(es) that you feel more confident in.

Do you enjoy and understand the pre-requisite class content?

• As you take your pre-requisite courses in preparation of applying to the nursing program, please keep in mind that the courses required are required for a reason.
• The pre-requisite courses are core components of your education and the knowledge gained in them will be used throughout the Nursing curriculum. You will be expected to bring that knowledge to the very first quarter of the nursing program. This is especially true of the science courses.

Example Pre-Requisite Plans

Below are two example plans for completion of pre-requisites. There are many different timelines and combinations to take your pre-requisite courses. Individual circumstances will determine which plan is best for you. 

Example of plan for student who has few outside obligations and wishes to complete pre-requisites quickly:

• Quarter 1: 
  BIOL&160
  CHEM&121
  PSYC&200
• Quarter 2:
  BIOL&241
  CMST&(210 or 220 or 230) ENGL&101
• Quarter 3:
  BIOL&242
  NUTR&101
• Quarter 4: 
  BIOL&260
  MATH&146

Example of plan for student who has outside obligations and wishes to take a reduced course load:

• Quarter 1: 
  BIOL&160
  CHEM&121
• Quarter 2:
  BIOL&241
• Quarter 3:
  BIOL&242
• Quarter 4: 
  BIOL&260
• Quarter 5:
  ENGL&101
  NUTR&101
• Quarter 6:
  MATH&146
  CMST&(210 or 220 or 230)

The Advising Department and the Science Department strongly recommend students consider the following:

Sequencing:

• Take the science courses in the following sequence:

CHEM&121
BIOL&160
BIOL&241
BIOL&242
BIOL&260

• Take BIOL&241 and BIOL&242 sequentially, without any gap quarters, to ensure you retain information.
• BIOL&260 should be taken last in the science sequence even though the pre-requisites allow it to be taken after completion of CHEM&121/BIOL&160.

Course Load:

• With the exception of CHEM&121 and BIOL&160, students never take two sciences together in the same quarter. For some students, even taking CHEM&121 and BIOL&160 in the same quarter can be an overload. Talk to an advisor to determine if taking them together is the right choice for you.
• Start your BIOL&241 and BIOL&242 sequence in Fall or Winter so that you can take the courses sequentially during the longer quarters. The summer quarter is a short quarter, which can be overwhelming to many students. If students plan to take one of these courses in a summer quarter, they are strongly advised to only take 1 course.

Studying:

• While not required or considered for Nursing AAS-T admission, work hard and pay close attention to BIOL&160. This course is important to build a strong foundation in preparation for your other science requirements.
• LWTech offers free tutoring for all of the nursing pre-requisites. Students are strongly
  encouraged to utilize the Learning Lab for their sciences and other requirements.
